Original caption

In 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin set up Google’s first office in a garage in Menlo Park, California, rented from Susan Wojcicki (later YouTube’s CEO). They used the space to develop their search engine after securing a $100,000 check from Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of Sun Microsystems. The garage served as Google’s headquarters until they moved to a real office in late 1999. @techfoundersclub - #startup #techstartup #entrepreneurship #ycombinator #technology #larrypage #sergeybrin #siliconvalley
